Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Pours in season-high 30 points
Rotowire
Hardaway ended Saturday's 121-115 victory over the Wizards with 30 points (10-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds in 36 minutes.
Only three Nuggets produced double digits on the night, but Hardaway wasn't even the team's leading scorer, as Jamal Murray went off for 42. It was still a season-best scoring effort for Hardaway, and the veteran forward has delivered double-digit points in all eight of his January appearances, averaging 18.8 points, 3.9 threes, 2.4 boards and 1.3 assists on the month.

The veteran forward continues to be the lead dog on the Nuggets' second unit, and the rest of the team's shortened bench managed only four points combined Tuesday. Hardaway has scored in double digits in six straight games, averaging 18.0 points, 3.7 threes, 2.3 boards and 1.0 assists in 30.3 minutes, and his streak of appearances with multiple made three-pointers stands at 15.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Big line off bench
Rotowire
Hardaway recorded 25 points (8-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 108-104 win over the Bucks.
Jamal Murray (ankle/illness) sat out for the second straight game, and Christian Braun (ankle) was unable to go as well. That created more opportunity for Hardaway, and the veteran took full advantage. He's been trending up over his last seven games, posting averages of 16.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.4 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Hardaway is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to illness management.
Hardaway may need to sit out consecutive games, considering he missed Monday's win over Philadelphia as well. More playing time would become available for Spencer Jones and Bruce Brown on the wing if Hardaway remains out, especially if Christian Braun (ankle) is also downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Tallies 15 points Friday
Rotowire
Hardaway recorded 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Friday's 113-108 loss to the Cavaliers.
Hardaway continues to log heavy minutes, scoring at least 15 points for the sixth time in the past seven games. Although he has been able to increase his production, Hardaway's overall fantasy value remains limited. He is worth having in standard leagues for now, specifically for anyone needing points and threes.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Coming off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Hardaway is not in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Raptors on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Hardaway has recently taken on an expanded role in the absence of Cameron Johnson (knee), but the former will operate in a reserve role Wednesday while Jalen Pickett enters the Nuggets' starting five. Over his last five games (three starts), Hardaway has averaged 19.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 4.4 threes over 31.2 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Making most of opportunity
Rotowire
Hardaway closed Saturday's 127-126 loss to Orlando with 20 points (6-14 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes.
Hardaway has moved into the starting lineup due to the absence of Cameron Johnson (knee), and it's safe to say the former is making the most of his opportunity. Including starts and bench appearances, this was Hardaway's fourth straight game with at least 19 points while shooting an impressive 20-for-46 from three-point range over that stretch. Hardaway should remain productive as long as he continues to make the most of his floor-spacing ability while sharing the floor with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic.

Hardaway is quietly finding his stride in Denver. Over his past three outings, he's averaging 21 points per game and has knocked in 16 three-pointers. The Nuggets will be leaning on Hardaway now since Cameron Johnson is due to miss time with a knee injury. The 41 minutes played also set a new season high for THJ.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Scores 23 off bench
Rotowire
Hardaway ended with 23 points (8-13 FG, 7-12 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 131-130 loss to the Mavericks.
Hardaway was lights-out from deep Tuesday, drilling a game-high seven three-pointers in the Nuggets' narrow loss. After scoring just eight points in a spot start Saturday, the veteran has bounced back with consecutive 20-point outings off the bench to open the week. While streakiness has long been part of his profile, Hardaway is shooting better than 40.0 percent from beyond the arc through 29 games this season, a mark he has never sustained over a full campaign.

Rotowire
Hardaway finished Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets with 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 40 minutes.
Hardaway started the second half for the injured Peyton Watson (side), logging a season high in minutes. With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) already sidelined, Watson's potential absence in the future could open a path to big minutes for Hardaway. He's quietly reached double digits in scoring in nine consecutive outings, during which the veteran swingman has averaged 14.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per contest.

The veteran swingman has scored in double figures in six straight games, shooting 41.9 percent from beyond the arc during that span. He also chipped in a season-high six rebounds Friday. While it's encouraging to see Hardaway contribute on the glass, he rarely provides much fantasy value outside of points and three-pointers.

Rotowire
Hardaway closed with 23 points (8-14 FG, 7-11 3Pt) and three rebounds over 27 minutes during Saturday's 130-112 win over the Suns.
Hardaway caught fire in the win, connecting on a season-high seven three-pointers. The 23 points also matched his season high, marking the fourth game in his past five in which he has scored in double digits. As per usual, Hardaway offers nothing outside of points and threes, making him a streaming candidate and nothing more.
